Tips & tricksIf you're uploading several images that belong together, such as members of a council or honour roll inductees, it's a good idea to put this consistently in the image names, for easier searching. For example: "Stella Young – 2017 Women's Honour Roll". |
The name you give your image when you upload it to the CMS's Media Library must:
use spaces between words (not hyphens or underscores)
be meaningful and descriptive enough that you can search for it when required
if the image is of a specific person, include their name and position.
For example:
Hon Linda Dessau, Governor of Victoria
Alana Johnson, member of the Ministerial Council on Women's Equality
Example
In the above example, the image's filename is "girl-laughing.jpg" so the name you would give it for the Media Library is "Girl laughing".
